A collection of my tunes released in 2014

2014 SIDs

sid music

After rejoining the scene, and become a member of Offence, I've begun to compose again. It's only been approx 23 years since I last did anything on a C64

Started in maj 2013... let's see where this goes... if I get enough positive feedback, I guess I will keep doing it... no need to spam the internet with crap, right?

Scarzix is back (2013 and forward)

d/t/c general

Featured on Chris Hülsbeck's Kickstarter-funded Turrican Soundtrack Anthology, this song was forged based on the original main theme to the original as a high-profile bonus addition.

Turrican 2 Main Title

Life in a garden is very vivid and varied - the slow and steady life of the flowers blooming and the active life of insects, birds and other creatures.

Garten (2A03 PURITANS) [NSF (Classical)]

A "tune" that came into existence when Mick Rippon send me a sketch for a melody, on which I, Jeroen Tel, evolved on within Renoise (Renoise is a music tracker (the best in the world) for those who don't know). I send it to Zubareus, a brilliant guitarist from Russia to add a magic guitar solo. I mixed it all together and this track was born. So, again, I proudly present another co-op between friends. Hope you like it guys! :-) Stay inspired!

Inspiration ft Zubareus

This tune was created for a diskmag on C64 which contains news and other scene related information. I wanted to make it futuristic/neuromancer kinda inspired. With a little ice-breaker in the middle. My goal was 10 mins tune without getting boring, but I ended up with 7 minutes, which I find rather okay too. 

It's part 1 of a bigger idea. I hope to compose the other parts... in the future. :-)

Electrosphere Part 1

This improvisation is dedicated to my late mother who passed away exactly two years ago... This improvisation totally reflects my emotional state when it was played

A Free Floating Brainstorm (an improvisation)

Made with OpenMPT, using the 'midi export' function.

Scarzix - The Greatest Pal (8580)

I made this tune because one of my greatest pal's were down and I wanted to cheer him up with a happy tune. It turned out so well, that I decided to use this as my entry for Datastorm 2014 music compo and I got a 2nd place for it. 

You can download it here for C64 and in SID format.

The Greatest Pal (#2 in music compo, Datastorm 2014)

This tune was composed for our winner demo at Datastorm 2014. The tune was used for a huge sideways scrolling hires bitmap and the first thing to appear was a giagantic Fairlight logo (one of our three groups) and as they have their "theme" I decided that it would be pretty fun to have that theme sound first in the tune. Then I ended the theme by holding the last note and then making it fade into a THX kinda effect to let people know that they should expect entertainment now.

So when the music kicks in, our OFFENCE logo starts to flash... but check out the demo yourself, and you will see what I mean.

(not sure if this version is captured from real hardware or not, details might be more clear on real thing)

The name for the tune was easy, as the final screen of the scroller shows a text we meant very much: WE ARE ALL CONNECTED... as in, all C64 sceners/fans are connected.. we share this hobby and fun with this old piece of hardware. C64 forever! :-)

Connected

"Gravity Lens" was composed on a C64 with 8580 SID by dEViLOCk. The tune was made for a C64 crack intro by Total Chaos of Noice/F4CG.
It was directly recorded from a real C64 machine without post processing. No samples used, pure SID.
The intro can be downloaded here:
http://csdb.dk/release/?id=130518

Gravity Lens

work in progress... the lead is not 100% as I want it, but it will do for now... next step is to decide if I keep it this low speed or its going to kick off with a beat at the end.. or perhaps sooner...

Let me know what you think... I might even follow your suggestions :-)

Goodbye My Friend (work in progress)

"Firing Up" is an international collaboration featuring 4 members of
Maniacs of Noise:
Jeroen Tel (WAVE) (Netherlands)
Mick Rippon (MickRip) (Australia)
Thomas Mogensen (DRAX) (Denmark)
Thomas Egeskov Petersen (Laxity) (Denmark)

Composed and created in Renoise (Renoise.com)
Mastering by Rick Hoekman (Netherlands)

Feel the energy of vintage retro game music combined with the precision of modern production values. A scene inspired journey of Epic proportions.

Firing Up

I thought the idea of the Gubdata oldskool party happening in Sweden was rather fun and wanted to participate with something as they allowed for remote entries in all compos. So I decided to make something oldskool to fit the vibes of it. As I am really from the time of oldskool tunes I wanted to give it a try and do one with the sounds I really enjoy myself. 

Hope you like it too. I have some parts of the solo/leads that I wish I had made differently, but hey - it was made in a short time, so I am still rather satisfied with the outcome based on the amount of time spend.

I am particularly happy about the bass myself.

Berggreen I Am

The Adventures of the Gummi Bears continues. Just had to upload this short re-make of the Gummi Bears theme I did a while back (well, Bumbibjörnarna for us Swedes). I've always loved this melody and when I played it on En Fest i 8 Bitar it resulted in a nice sing-along from the crowd. Crazy fun!

Gummi Bears Theme / Bumbibjörnarna (Rymdkraft Remix)

"I guess he'll never feel the same way…"

My only entry into this year's Spring Tracks comp held on Battle of the Bits.

Uses 2a03 + 6 channels of N163, over-clocked to 224Hz (so this can't be played on real hardware, sadly).

The Coffee Zone

Hopeless Romantic [N163, 224Hz]

This tune was composed specially for Jazzcat from Onslaught who is an editor for a C64 diskmag called Vandalism News. This issue was released at Flashback 2014 in Sidney Australia, so we thought it would be fun to make an intro with an australian accent aka picking a classic tune from an australian band and then try to make a cover from that.

It's a really cool tune, I must say I had a lot of favorites to pick from, but this one was so interesting because of all the breaks etc. PAL from our group did the graphics for the intro. An awesome piece of artwork that shows the famous harbour view of Sidney with the while concert hall buildings in the background. So it fits well together.

The original tune just "fades out" repeating the last few sequences, so I had to do something and then I decided to do this water/rain kinda sound where it "opens up" and restarts the tune. I dunno if its a bathtub that is filling up because someone got left behind (linking to the story) or its the pickup of an old recordplayer... you decide... or comment on what you think.

I'm sorry if I didnt hit all the correct tones on the correct places, but sometimes I had to "ajust slightly" to keep the fullness of the tune within 3 channels. 

Enjoy, hope you like it as much as I did making it.

You can download the Commodore 64 Diskmag here:
http://csdb.dk/release/?id=131277
- and you can also see a screenshot of the Intro, but you should really try to run the d64 files in VICE or on real hardware to get the full experience.


The original INXS tune can be heard here:

Never Tear Us Apart (INXS cover)

This tune was created for a Commodore 64 diskmag called Vandalism News. It's very slow on purpose and quite repetitive too, but its supposed NOT to take focus from the diskmag itself as the reader has plenty of pages to go through without thinking too much about the tune.

Dunno if I succeeded this time, was a bit in a hurry with this one. I still hear parts I think I might have done different if more time, but hey - I managed to get it done before deadline. 

Note: there is a music player inside the diskmag where the reader can choose which tune to hear, so if they get tired of one tune, they can just pick another one - IF all the composers delivers their tunes as promised. My focus this time was more on the intro tune with INXS cover, which you can find below here too.

Forgotten Times

Malmen and Golgi - Summertime Roses

A small crazy-drunk demo from our F*A*I*C group that makes weird/crazy small demos for the C64. 

This time we thought we would make a tribute to a danish guy called "Don Domingo", as he is pretty hilarious - at least if you understand danish.

Apparently we werent the only ones to think he is fun, so someone made a rather awesome funky tune/remix with his speaking ontop and you can hear it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNUyHlPbJpo

And I liked that funky theme so much that I tried to capture some of it within a SID tune. I only spend a 4-6 hours in total, should probarbly have used a week instead.. but hey! its just for the fun of it... and good practice too.

The resulting Commodore 64 demo can be found and downloaded here: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=131862



Don Domingo

Note: I had to reupload this one, as the previous version was recorded badly. The tune is still the same.

The original Galactix (made in JCH NewPlayer Editor). I thought I had lost this version, but it later turned up to be used in a Lotus Intro. Meanwhile I had recomposed it for a demo from Triangle (Road to Excess vector part, http://youtu.be/osI6lyddCWE?t=17m21s ) where they showed realtime vector on a Commodore 64. That version was done in a faster player that used less rastertime. But in the end, once they were done with the demo, they decided to use the first version (which had reappeared) which I think was a good decision.

Ghost Of Scarzix

"Wonderlight" is the soundtrack to our demo "Comaland" which won the C64 demo competition at X-2014. The tune is composed on and recorded from a real Commodore 64 with two 8580R5 SID chips. The Cover is a screenshot of the demo, logo pixeled by Yazoo/Oxyron.

Check out the demo on the real thing here:

Wonderlight (Theme from Comaland)

A tune I wrote because it kept popping into my mind. I knew it was going to sound oldskool, so I decided to embrace it with modulated percussions etc. 

it turned out better than expected. I hope you like it.

At least PAL/OFFENCE liked it so much that he wanted it for his new "one hour project" and I think it fits perfectly.
